Tom DeLay to ABC: Fire Rosie O'Donnell
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has called on the ABC television network to fire Rosie O’Donnell if she continues her vehement anti-American diatribes. After DeLay wrote on his blog that O’Donnell should be axed, she attacked DeLay on her show "The View” by sarcastically referring to him as "a man of high moral standards." DeLay fired back during a Monday night appearance on Fox News’ "The O'Reilly Factor,” telling host Bill O'Reilly that if he were the CEO of ABC, "I'd call her in and tell her that anything she says has to be backed up and justified. Then I'd find somebody to put on the program opposite her so that they could hold her accountable." Noting that he has been through "11 years of these kinds of attacks, the criminalization of politics, the coordination of media with these left-wing groups and people like Rosie O'Donnell," DeLay said conservative groups should go after O'Donnell, not to censor her, but to force her to back up some of her more outrageous claims.

"People around the country should not allow her to use the public airwaves for her diatribes and her screeds," DeLay told O'Reilly. O’Donnell has, among other things, charged that President Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks, likened Christianity to radical Islam, and claimed that Americans have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
